Temperature estimation
Temperature estimation
Using the setup presented for the spectral measurement in the IR region we considered a hot plate as a target. In this case, the laser used for reference is diffused on a chalk placed on the hot plate.
The surface of the body is covered by different materials having different emissivity:
cast iron,
aluminum foil,
chalk powder (CaCO3).
Test target #1:
Hot plate
Result: Temperature vs Irradiance
Temperature measurement does not depend on the irradiance of the surface.
Result: Colour rendering
Thermal image underline the independance of temperature measurement from irradiance.
